Not thinking its a mag issue. I've tried ALOT. I'm running whatever buffer a DPMS sportacle comes with. I'll get some pics next weekend. It seems like it's feeding too fast and pushing the bullet into the casing occasionally....? I'm very much a noob to the technical aspect of shooting.

I had a similar problem recently, I had to blend the feed ramps on my barrel extension with the feed ramps on the upper receiver.
On my suppressed LR-308, I was over gassed. I recommend an adjustable gas block. It gives you the ability to tune your gun. You can feel the difference with each click or two. I got the SLR rifle works but there are others. Get one with discernible 'clicks' or even more simple- one brand has settings for on, off, and suppressed. My two cents.

Thanks. The feed ramps seem ok. Ill try the H2 buffer then change to an adjustable gas block if that doesn't work. I've been looking at the JP captured buffer, I may try and talk myself into spending the $$$ for it with the different spring kit and see how that works...?

DPMS rifles are typically "overgassed" (gas port spec'd to run with a wider variety of ammo). If it's gassed so much that it's causing feed issues, I'd recommend going with the adjustable gas block first. The buffer alone would be a bandaid fix at best, and chances are you'll need both the gasblock and buffer to get it running ideal anyway. An SLR Sentry gas block and H2 buffer should calm her down nicely.

In an unsuppressed firearm, the moment the bullet leaves the barrel, the hot gases behind it are vented into the air.
Suppressed these gases are being, held and cooled in the suppressor. The holding of the gases is increasing he amount of force against your bolt. Sometimes more than the stock setup can overcome.
Sounds like your over grassed, and bolt velocity is to high.
I recommend anyone that enjoys suppressors, or want to learn how they work, to visit silencertalk dot com.
A lot of information on that website..

I never heard of that gas vent. I may have to try one with the RTV "fix" also. My kids hate shooting suppressed because of the gas.
